Subject: Bobby's Quip
Dylan - listen again...he's saying, "Can't hit a moving target, huh?" Anyone have a guess to what he may be referencing - missing a note?

Reviewer: Dylan M - - March 15, 2012
Subject: Listen to Bobby in Row Jimmy
At this first chorus verse, after "gonna get there, I don't Know" He quips "Can't seem to get a running start". I would kill to see video of Jerry's reaction. haha.

Priceless, another under-looked show from fall 79'. Obviously this is a special show.

Subject: sometimes the lights all shinin on meeee
remember when they would turn on the house lights for a few seconds forthat line, then shut them off for the next 'other times I can barely seeeee', and everyone would not be able to see for a few seconds after that? that was awesome! I forget when they stopped doing that, but they did it here I remember it :)

Heard this for the first time today.. 31 years after it happened. Love the Archive. Love the Dead. Great 2nd Set, Great. Unique. Beautiful Terrapin-Let It Grou and rippin' Truckin. 5 STARS for the 2nd set.

This show has it's moments but when I compare it to 12-28-79 I have to give it three stars. The sound is okay. It probably was pretty crappy before Charlie remastered it. There is some tape hiss if that bothers you.

Subject: GREAT show!!!
Being the faithful Maine Deadhead that I am, I was at this show. Fantastic...that's all that you can say. Brent was on fire...Jerry was great...the drummers had THE drums...THE BEAST! The sound that the drums produced was phenomenal.
When the band came out of Terrapin, I remember telling the girl that I had gone with, "Wow...it's just like a plane coming in for a landing!!" Not sharing my enthusiasm or mental state, she had NO IDEA what I was talking about. Her loss.

Subject: Excellent 79 show
Great second set, with an excellent jam out of Let it Grow led by Brent initially. Jerry plays some blisteringly fast runs later on in the jam.

A few AUD splices but nothing to worry about - well worth a listen!

Subject: My 2nd Show ...
and the one that signed me up for life. The boys rocked this sweaty little skating rink like nobody's business. This is an epic "Let It Grow," and the first ever with Brent. Gorgeous Stella Blue. Great, great show. I am eternally grateful for this amazing new source.

Subject: Gotta Bump It Up....Second Set Deserves It
OK, First off: huge improvement in source quality, many thanks for that. Second: while the first set does have some great moments, 4 stars seems more than fair. The second set, however, is fantastic. The LIG is a drawn out journey that is surprisingly mellow, but just gorgeous. The Stella out of space is just pristine and the Truckin' is amazing. All in all, 4.5 stars seems appropriate.
